On Dec 17, 2009 12:00 AM@davidtobin100 Did you read the article at all? Making a sexist statement and prefacing it with "Not to sound sexist", doesn't make it any less sexist. In the last paragraph I address the issue of these being "boys" comics. If you aren't going to read the article, feel free to keep your sexist ideas to yourself.

On Nov 6, 2009 3:10 AM@gordon - You know I'm scared of shellfish right? Damn that's a frightening image. Not as scary as clown-hulk-Ron Richards, but then again, nothing is that disturbing. @mikeromo - You make a lovely Zatanna, what are you trying to pretend it was some vaudeville nonsense for?

On Aug 18, 2009 6:29 PMI praised Hellblazer's American writers, so I wouldn't have said it's a rule. I also never purported to speak on behalf of all of Britain.

On Aug 6, 2009 3:00 PM@mudi900 I wish I could find that sketch. Maybe it's with all my missing single socks? @BatStewie: Covered Ashley Wood last week, as part of the more painterly movement of comic book artists. Have a read and you'll see what I thought there . @daccampo: All the best people are crazy. Sane people can be so dull.
